Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was shared from Gaye Strickland, Lillian Riggs' step-granddaughter. She lived at Faraway Ranch with her parents to help Lillian. Some of her fondest memories of the ranch were the Sunday dinners. She said they always had several guests staying in the guest cabins. Sunday dinners, they were always fried chicken and country gravy with mashed potatoes of course. She said she loved these big dinners.
